Chapter 55: The Company is Doomed

Qi Shenbai’s eyes were burning as he stared at her flushed face without blinking. His gaze moved down bit by bit and finally locked onto her thin lips. They were tender and tempting, crystal clear. Gradually, his breathing became chaotic, and his protruding Adam’s apple kept bobbing, as if he was trying his best to hold himself back.

The atmosphere became strange. The two of them looked at each other without saying anything or making the next move. Their eyes met, and something seemed to intertwine in their gazes — something that could not be undone.

Eventually, Qi Shenbai pulled away and looked at her. “Got any inspiration now?”

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him blankly and asked belatedly, “Are you… helping me find inspiration?”

Qi Shenbai nodded without changing his expression.

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head in embarrassment, blaming herself for thinking too much.

“Still no inspiration?” Qi Shenbai asked again.

“I… I got a hint of something.” Xu Jiaojiao answered in a panic, her cheeks burning. “I think I know how to draw it now.”

Qi Shenbai smiled and placed his warm palm on her hair. He did not rub her head, only saying gently, “Then I’ll leave you to your work.” With that, he got up and left.

Behind him, Xu Jiaojiao kept stealing glances at his back from the corner of her eye. Only once he was completely gone did she finally heave a sigh of relief. She pinched her face forcefully and said, “Xu Jiaojiao, wake up! He was just helping you get some inspiration!”

After spending a few minutes to calm herself down, she picked up her pen again and seriously began to amend her draft.

Time flew by quickly. By the time Xu Jiaojiao put down her brush again, it was already noon. She stretched lazily and looked at her sketches with an expression of satisfaction, like a mother looking at her own child. The two characters who were originally kissing were now simply looking at each other. Even so, their gazes were suggestive and intimate, just the mood she wanted.

“I really am a genius! 1 got it in an instant!”

After putting away her art tools, she stood up and walked to the door next door. She knocked on it three times, and the person who answered the door was Pei Yan. When he saw that it was her, Pei Yan said respectfully, “Hello, Mrs. Qi.”

He did not go out of his way to lower his voice. The higher-ups sitting in the living room all heard him, and they were dumbfounded.

M-Mrs. Qi?! Mr. Qi really was a pedophile!! The company was doomed now, noooo!
